[Divorce Agreement] This is the agreement drafted by my lawyer.
Are Meng and I... are just burden that you can't wait to get rid of?
Sign it now.
I won't make it easy for you.
You're hindering both our future!
Sign it!
Wen Rui Fan! Let go of me!
Then set me free!
Wei En, I'm divorced.
From now on, I'm all yours.
Xie An Zhen! Why are you like this?
There're lots of divorcees.
You're not the most pitiful one!
Success is the best vengeance.
I'll take Wei En home to tell Mom and Dad
that An Zhen and I are divorced. I want to be with Wei En.
Are you crazy?
But they'll know sooner or later anyway.
I'm warning you for the last time.
You nasty, dirty scum.
You better not say another word. Understand?
Let's go! Doesn't it disgust you seeing this shameless couple together?
Director, I'm here to take days off.
My mom's here in Taipei and I have to take her to a checkup to see if
she has lung cancer.
He's a friend of my mom's
and an expert in the chest division.
I'll introduce you to him.
The surgery went well, don't worry.
Li Wei En unscrupulously seduced your husband.
You should try to get him back with the same gusto.
Let's form an 'Anti-mistress' team.
Subtitles by DramaFever
A mentor?
Xie An Zhen, is this really what you want to do?
Can you forget the pain he caused you?
Actually... I can't.
So why do you want him back?
I've watched this film that told us there are things we can't forget.
But we can choose to forgive.
Forgive?
Yes, forgiveness.
Forget about it. I don't need to inflict trouble upon myself.
Mr. Lan, if you know what to do please teach me how.
If my husband really comes back to me I'll be grateful to you for life.
All right, we'll give it a try.
The first step is to become friends with your husband, not enemies.
What? But why?
Xie An Zhen, your husband actually feels guilty for what he's done to you.
But if you keep throwing tantrums
his guilty conscience will go away quickly.
So you'll need to forgive him first.
Then he'll feel terribly sorry towards you.
Then what?
Then you need to let him know that you still feel for him.
Isn't that a bit too much?
And then?
And then...
Just follow my instructions. It's can't go wrong.
Am I late?
No, I was early.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
How are you recently?
I'm fine, although I'm a bit tired.
My mom just had a surgery so I have to take care of her.
What's wrong with your mom?
It's the early stage lung cancer.
But don't worry, it's been two weeks since her surgery.
She seems to be recovering pretty well.
Well... so... does she know...
Does she know that... we're already...
Of course she does.
I... She actually told me off.
She said that I wasn't good enough.
That's why you...
It's not true.
I've told you before. This isn't your fault.
Don't say that. I know I'm at fault too.
Let's not talk about that.
I thought Meng is staying at Rui Xuan's because you're busy at work.
I am but a small employee. How busy could I possibly be?
But Mom will be discharged soon
and I'm thinking about staying with her for about a month in the countryside.
I don't think it'll do Meng much good staying at others' all the time.
So Rui Fan, I was thinking if it's possible to discuss this with you.
Could you move back home for a while to take care of Meng for me?
Never mind, don't worry if you find it difficult.
I'll just ask Rui Xuan or Mom and Dad for help.
I'll move back.
I'll move back home to take care of Meng.
Really?
Of course. She's my daughter.
That's what I should do for her.
Okay.
That's all. I'll have to go now.
An Zhen.
Since you're here already why don't you stay and chat a while?
I have to go.
Hey, I didn't know that you're quite good at acting.
What acting?
I was really close to tears just now.
Why did you choose that tear jerking song?
It worked really well.
Wen Rui Fan even went after you just now.
Then why did you tell me to leave that soon?
Actually I wanted to stay and talk to him as well.
Don't you get it?
Humans are despicable.
They only cherish what's hard to come by.
What you need to do now is leave him wanting more.
What about the next step?
The next step is to use this month to create a brand new Xie An Zhen.
What are talking about? You're going home?
An Zhen's not around and I can't leave Meng all alone by herself.
It's not as if Meng has nowhere to go.
Isn't she staying at Rui Xuan's?
She can't always stay at others' or she'll think she has no home to go back to.
And me? What about me?
I'll come back to visit you.
Just bear with it for a month, okay?
No, it's not okay!
Wei En please, stop being unreasonable.
What I want is all of you.
All of you! All!
Wei En... I've already divorced An Zhen.
But you should know I'm still Meng's father.
Could you try to be more understanding?
Mom, are you sure you don't want me to keep you company?
I'm sure. I can continue with the treatment back in the countryside.
Your aunt and uncle will take care of me.
Don't worry too much.
I'm more concerned about your happiness. You do know that, don't you?
Yes, I do.
Oh, and don't forget to thank Mr. Lan.
That 'Anti-mistress' strategy of yours will need his help in carrying it out.
Don't worry. I'll do my best.
Anyways, whether it's a success or not I'm not afraid anymore.
Let's go! Be careful.
Mrs. Xie, are you ready to leave?
Everything's packed. We're good to go.
I still think we're troubling you, maybe it's better if I drive my mom home?
You've just recovered from the accident and your neck hasn't completely healed.
Don't drive long distances.
Mr. Lan, you are so helpful.
Oh, I... I happen to get along with Mrs. Xie, that's all.
I'm usually not helpful.
Come on, let's go.
Be careful, Mom.
Meng!
Daddy!
I haven't seen you for a long while, Daddy.
Let's go home.
Xie An Zhen!
Present.
Are you prepared to undergo strict training?
Yes!
Do you have confidence to win your husband back?
- Yes! - Do you want to become a new Xie An Zhen?
Yes, I do!
- Then will you... - Wait! Mr. Lan.
You said 'a new Xie An Zhen...' but how new is that?
- Because if it's too new... - Will you obey orders?
- I will. - Louder!
I will!
Now, listen closely. Never doubt my orders.
Once you do, you're out.
I get it.
Good.
Wear them.
I'm already tall and skinny like a stick.
Do I really need to wear heels?
Is being tall and skinny like a stick a flaw?
Is it not?
That's because you think it's flaw so you've wasted this advantage.
Wear them!
Chin up! Back straight!
From now on, flats or slippers or anything without heels are strictly forbidden.
And what's that bun on your head?
From now on, I don't want to see this old lady's hairstyle. Fix it immediately.
Okay, okay.
I'll do something about the hair.
But do you know how tiring it is to be in heels all day?
If not, then why is this called boot camp?
Fine.
While I'm at work, you need to finish three newspapers
a book, a movie and attend a class.
I'll quiz you on them when I get home.
It's not as if I'm sitting for university entrance exams.
If you want to be a modern day woman you need to have the thirst for knowledge.
These are all information and classes that I specially picked for you.
So you must find something that you are interested in.
But why?
Because the world is huge
and yet you only pay attention to your home.
So you need to tear down that barrier then you'll know how great the world is.
Someone who's uninterested in the world won't arouse interest in others.
Did you hear me?
Yes, I did!
Jogging, English conversation...
Eastern and Western dining etiquette...
the secret of conversations...
spiritual wellness course...
Why are there so many of them?
Do you have confidence to get your husband back?
Yes, I do!
Yes, I do! I do!
You walk like an old cow dragging a buggy.
It wears me out to see you walk like that.
Can't you be more elegant, more lady-like?
Hey, you try them on then!
I'm not the one who's trying to get my husband back.
Wow, this is such a pretty store.
The clothes are really nice too.
Okay, so let me see if you've got taste.
Pick out a few that you like and try them on.
From this store?
I better not... it must be very expensive.
What now? Are you defying orders?
This is not the most expensive store.
Hurry up.
This feels so soft.
NT$90,000! Can this make you fly?
NT$22,000! So pricey, geez.
Forget about it. Doesn't suit me anyway.
Hey, what do you think about this dress?
Are you a spinster or a nun?
Go get changed!
Your disposition and glare isn't up for this.
Go change.
Gosh, what expression is that?
Am I selling you to a brothel?
What?
This outfit is for someone really feminine.
You? You are far from it.
Don't just criticize me. Help me choose one.
Okay.
This really suits you. Why didn't you choose it?
Don't you think it's too young for me?
Well, are you that old?
The first step to your reform is to reshape your self-perception.
Come! Look at yourself in the mirror.
Start thinking about this while I say it to you.
I, Xie An Zhen, is looking my best.
I want to be mature yet youthful.
I'm very pretty but I didn't know that before.
So from today onwards I'll always make myself look pretty everyday.
Until one day, my husband's eyes will light up when he sees me.
Thank you, Ma'am. It's a total of NT$56,800.
Oh, okay.
Thank you.
How is this supposed to be filling?
Ms. Xie An Zhen, does a lady take her shoes off in public?
I'm sorry but my feet hurt.
I think your heart hurts too.
Yes, my heart hurts.
Mr. Lan, why do we need to buy such expensive clothes?
If we keep it up, what am I supposed to live on? How can I afford it?
I'm not making you into a spendthrift. I'm trying to teach you two things.
The first is aesthetics.
And the second is to spend money when you need to.
What about aesthetics?
These are too expensive not to be pretty.
Not all pretty things suit you.
When you know what suits you best
you can look good and trendy even when you buy clothes from street vendors.
Then what should I spend money on?
Thriftiness is a virtue. I like that about you.
But for the sake of being thrifty, you made yourself look older.
I hope you've realized your loss.
Ms. Xie An Zhen, a lady never powders her face in public.
This is just a lip balm.
Applying lip balm is the same, silly.
Can you please list out all the things that a lady isn't allowed to do in one go?
A lady will never raise her voice in public.
Did you know that?
Chin up, chest out and don't slouch!
Are you in the army? Be more elegant!
Look straight ahead, don't turn your head.
If I were crossing a road and there's a hole
or a car races towards me, I won't see them.
Are you stupid?
Can't you observe the surroundings and then peek from the corners of your eyes?
Talking back?
Wait a minute!
What is it?
Take off your coat.
What are you trying to do?
I told you to take it off so do as you're told.
Take it off and leave it on the floor.
Are you doubting me?
Quickly!
You're so slow. Do you want me to do it for you?
Hurry up!
Once you're in this expensive coat
you just keep thinking, 'Wow, this coat is so pricey.'
How do you expect to act like you own it?
So even if you are in a mink coat you have to treat it as a shabby one
then you'll be able to wear it. Get it?
I get it.
Good. Keep practicing.
Walk in a straight line.
Are you a zombie? Can't you smile?
Smile.
Why did you throw your keys?
Pick them up.
Madam, what are you doing?
My skirt is so short, how do you expect me to pick up the keys?
If your skirt's short, then your movements must be more lady-like.
How do you expect me to be lady-like in this?
Why don't you demonstrate?
Fine, as a lady in a short skirt you should know how to protect yourself.
So with this hand, you press the skirt down.
Then you turn to the side and put your knees together, squat down slowly and
elegantly reach for the keys slowly and pick them up.
Do you get it? Stop laughing!
Give me a hand and help me up.
Let me ask you this. If you dropped your keys, what would you do?
I'll pick them up. Didn't I just demonstrate?
Pick them up? No, you'll get sent to the hospital, of course.
Even my daughter knows this joke. ('Drop your keys' sounds like 'You're dying')
Keep practicing.
Mr. Lan, can I take a break?
It's really tiring walking all day.
The three key points to being a lady are
elegance, elegance and elegance.
So make sure you don't let me see that expression or that posture ever again.
The purposes of today's training are
first, you own the clothes not the other way round.
Second, a lady will never panic even if something unexpected happens.
Yeah, a wooden doll would be a lady.
What did you just say?
Get back to your practice now!
General Manager Zhuang, you're looking for me?
Take a seat.
Sales representatives in Kaohsiung had a few
good ideas that I wanted to discuss with you.
Hold on. I have something else to talk to you about first.
Sure.
You've got quite a few things going on.
Oh, yes, I did.
Then I won't beat about the bush.
Frankly speaking, the Chief Executive has heard about your marital problems.
You have an affair with your wife's cousin.
The Chief Executive is a woman.
You know that women are very sensitive to matters as such.
She wants to know if the rumor about your affair is true.
It's all true but I'm already divorced.
What the Chief Executive meant was
if you are able to uphold your reputation
then you will still be regarded as a candidate
for the position of Deputy General Manager.
But if you can't...
So you mean that if I keep my affair
a secret like some people, I'll be all right?
Is that so?
Just answer me straightforwardly
and be careful with your words because this will have an impact on your career.
My answer is, I'm in love with Li Wei En.
And I don't need to report to no one.
So General Manager Zhuang can take your hands off this matter.
I quit.
So General Manager Zhuang can take your hands off this matter.
I quit.
How can you do this to me?
Yes, I've quit.
Why did you choose this crucial timing
to quit when you should be vying for
the Deputy General Manager position?
You don't know what happened.
If I don't quit now, I might be fired.
Why?
Because Wei En and I...
The Chief Executive wants to know if we are really seeing each other.
Why can't you deny till the end?
I've already admitted to it.
You lied when you shouldn't
and now you are honest when you shouldn't.
Nothing can be done about it now.
I'm all right.
All right my foot?
You think that you can get a Manager position
somewhere else in this economic downturn?
I've always been quite lucky, haven't I?
That dirty bitch has made you lose your mind, do you know that?
But I love her.
This was as I had expected.
The woman is his downfall, that dirty bitch.
Don't worry, I can always get a new job.
It's not a big deal.
It's my fault. It's all my fault.
Don't say that.
Ai Lin has people watching her back.
So perhaps no matter how hard I try, I'll never make Deputy General Manager.
- But... - No buts.
I've always believed that you bring me luck.
Eat up. I need to pick up Meng later.
Meng, your dinner.
Daddy, when will Mommy be back? I'm sick of eating ready made meals.
Meng, be good. Daddy will cook for you tomorrow, okay?
Daddy's lame, you can't cook.
Maybe Grandma's here with something yummy for Meng.
Wait here.
Surprise!
- Why are you here? - To keep you company.
- This is not a good idea. - An Zhen isn't here anyway.
But what if she suddenly comes back? It won't be good.
You are divorced already. Why are you still so scared of her?
I'm worried that you might be hurt.
I'll be fine. I'm not afraid.
Meng...
- Did you miss me? - I did!
- Is Meng sleeping? - Yes.
- Wei En... - Yes?
I still think that you should...
Don't worry. If this time, An Zhen tries to hit me again, I'll strike back.
I'm not scared of her.
- Isn't this... - Yes, but I changed it into my face.
Please, stop messing around.
Why not? It's just for fun.
Don't put it there. What if Meng sees it?
Come on, it's just for one night.
Whatever, go to bed now.
Hey, where are you going? Aren't you sleeping here with me?
Of course not. What if Meng sees us?
Fine, we're going public soon anyway.
By then, I want all of you. You hear me?
Yes, I hear you.
Where's my jigsaw puzzle?
- I've put it away. - Why did you do that?
Didn't you say you're only putting it out for one night?
Give it back to me.
I'll give it back to you when we leave.
I don't get you. Why are you so scared of An Zhen and Meng?
I'm not scared of them but I don't want to provoke them any further.
So... it's okay to provoke me?
Wei En, stop throwing tantrums.
Can you be more understanding?
I know you will so sit down and have your breakfast, I have to go to work.
Work? What work?
I'm going to make a few phone calls to see if there are any opportunities.
Red wines from South America...
are smooth but dry in the after taste.
It's like the bitterness of a sweet life.
The taste of love.
Bittersweet.
What happened?
Why did you break that plate?
What are you looking at? Why the fuss?
How many times have I told you that a lady never panics no matter what.
This is just the first of your final exams.
The next examiner isn't so easy to please.
Who is it?
My mom.
This is just the first of your final exams.
The next examiner isn't so easy to please.
Who is it?
My mom.
My mom has piercing eyes that sees people through.
So if you can get a compliment from her, then you pass the test.
As for today's exam...
You failed!
We've been having fried chicken and pizza for days.
How about let's cook something tomorrow.
But why? What's wrong with fried chicken and pizza?
Hello, General Manager Zhou.
Rui Fan?
I've considered your offer.
Your creativity and success is second to none.
But I'm worried that Jerry will suspect that I'm trying to alienate him.
You know what Jerry's like. He's...
Thank you, General Manager Zhou. I understand.
What happened?
Nothing.
Mom!
Hey, where is she?
She's inside. But Mom, you have to know
Xie An Zhen and I are just friends.
Really? If you are just friends, then why introduce her to me so formally?
And she's going to cook a meal for me?
Mom, she's really just a friend.
Fine. So can I meet your friend now?
You must be Xie An Zhen?
Auntie, nice to meet you.
Your An Zhen is really pretty.
Mom...
You're the pretty one. And you look so young.
- Really? - Really.
Auntie, would you like to take a seat in the living room? Food is almost ready.
She's so chic and pretty. Can she cook?
What do you think she does for a living?
It's a bit hard to guess...
but she's tall and slender...
She'll be popular if she's a model.
- A model? - Yes.
What are you laughing at?
Nothing. A model?
Wow! This satisfies all five senses.
You really do cook well.
Thank you.
Mr. Lan told me that you like braised soup.
So I made lotus root and ribs soup. I hope you'll like it.
- Is this the soup? - Yes.
It's good.
Stop praising her or she'll get too proud.
Are you worried she'll be too proud for you?
- Auntie... - Sorry, I'm so sorry.
But he has me worried for so many years.
Mr. Lan is really outstanding. You have nothing to worry about.
He's outstanding? Oh no!
- My scarf! - Here, it's all right.
Quick.
What should we do?
My cashmere scarf is a goner.
Put more water on it.
That won't take out the stains.
Give me a second.
I happen to read in a newspaper clipping about what to do with soy sauce stains.
I remember two methods, one uses ammonia, the other uses lotus root.
We happen to have lotus root today.
Auntie, I'm so sorry.
I haven't tried this method before but I'll do my best to remove that stain for you.
Let's give it a try no matter what.
Come here.
Let's put a bit of this on...
See! It works!
- Yes, it is working. - Yes.
It seems to be working!
I'll put more on.
The stain seems to be coming off.
It's not bad, isn't it?
It really is not bad. It's working.
Why that glum face? Trying to jinx my scarf?
Don't mind him, carry on.
You really can't be taught.
After all this training and yet you failed.
You went back to who you were right away.
How do you expect to get your husband back?
Let's forget about it. You're not made for this.
What's gotten into me?
Meng, Mommy's not afraid.
No matter how hard it is, I'm not afraid.
For your sake, I must succeed.
Hello? An Zhen, why won't you see me? It's been ages.
When are you done with the training? I've got so much to tell you.
Okay, Rui Xuan, listen to me.
I need you and Kang De to ask Wei En and Rui Fan out to dinner.
But why?
'Anti-mistress' combat is officially launched.
Xie An Zhen, are you ready yet?
I bought this dress on my own.
Is it ugly?
It's not too bad.
Mr. Lan, I need to confirm with you.
Are we really pretending to be on our first date?
Why? Do you have something to say?
No... but is this really necessary?
Do you think I want to? But if we don't then Wen Rui Fan won't get jealous.
Isn't this what we've been training for?
But I was just divorced, won't people think...
What about my reputation?
Hey, my reputation is at risk too, okay?
Is it that bad for you to be seen with me?
Not really.
So what do you have in mind?
No... nothing. I'll obey orders.
Xie An Zhen, I'm here to help you
but if you don't want to get your husband back anymore, it's totally fine with me.
I'll be a lot more relaxed.
Sounds like a good idea.
Don't. Please don't. I don't want to quit.
Let's go.
Kang De. Why did you and Rui Xuan invite us to dinner?
How would I know? My wife said so.
Why not? Free food.
Miss, what time is it now?
Half past twelve... oh my gosh
My goodness, you look so pretty!
Wow, you look so elegant!
You're like a super model!
I've known you for years and I think you look quite... okay.
But now you look fabulous.
Mr. Lan is a magician.
The makeover is a huge success.
It's like magic!
It's a long story. I'll tell you some other day.
Oh, okay. But before we go in, I need to tell you about some things.
First, my brother's lost his job.
Second, Wei En tagged along and moved into your house with him.
Aren't you going to say something?
Okay, all right. Don't worry.
It won't hinder our plan for today.
Rui Xuan, I can't do this without you today.
I know, don't worry.
You've changed but I can't put my finger on what.
You're so pretty.
Wifey, you asked us out and look at the time now! Do you know how late you are?
Rui Xuan, if you are going to be nasty then Wei En and I won't stay for dinner.
No, I won't. I really won't.
I thought nothing could be changed anyway so what else can I do?
Rui Xuan, if you can accept me I'll be really happy.
Oh, okay... Doesn't really matter.
Well, I hope the two of you...
Actually, I've also advised An Zhen
she should regain confidence and start fresh.
I just hope that you won't stand in her way.
If An Zhen is happy, we'll be happy for her too.
Of course, if An Zhen can have her own life
we'll be more than happy.
Why would we stand in her way?
So that means An Zhen can go on dates now?
What? Who is An Zhen dating?
Dating?
Oops, did I say dating?
I am learning English recently. I meant 'waiter,' 'waiter', let's order now.
Okay, wifey... You're right.
Waiter, waiter...
Wait a minute.
Let's go.
An Zhen!
What a coincidence!
Such a coincidence bumping into us!
Such a small world.
- So you're back? - Just got back.
Mr. Lan wanted to take me out to dinner.
An Zhen, are you really my sister-in-law?
Kang De, don't call me that. I'm not your sister-in-law anymore.
Hello Wei En.
Hello.
- An Zhen, I've made a reservation. - Okay.
All right, I'll see you some other day.
But it's such a nice coincidence, let's all eat at the same table?
Please, I'm treating everyone today.
No objections, right?
It's fine. Let's all sit down! Waiter! Two more seats!
Thank you! Come sit down!
Are you really dating her?
Yes, why not? An Zhen is elegant, beautiful
kind, caring, and thoughtful.
But she's a divorcee with a child.
And she's older than you.
So is your boyfriend, isn't he?
What's the relationship between this guy and An Zhen?
Are you finally jealous?
You were so blinded.
Start regretting what you've lost.
I kept thinking if he still loves me or why did he leave me.
But I've never thought about
am I still in love with him?
What are you doing?
I'd rather sleep rough than live here!
I'm giving you back to her! Happy?
- Listen to me! - Let go of me!
Li Wei En, you bitch!
Why won't you rot in hell?
When you need to fight for your rights say it out loud!
- Do you read me? - Yes, sir!
